Looked to be working fine this past weekend crossing from Rockport back to the American side.
May be wrong here, were you at Nolan's Sandy Pond Run a few weeks back?

It is crazy, the motor was spotless. I couldnt see, the dealer couldnt see and Ilmor cant find. I dont think the pressure tested, they want to think we didnt have any oil in. Not the case.
The Donzi you saw must have been the one with 625's. My would only be idleing

My 2007 710's have less than 70 hours on them. My second time out this year during a Poker Run my low oil pressure alarm goes off cruising along at 90. I pull the throttle back and shut it down immediatly. I opened up hatch to find a bilge full of oil. The strange thing is you could not visiibly see where the oil came from and it did not spray around. The motor was pulled out and sent to Ilmor and over the last 5 weeks Ilmor can not explain why or find where it came from. They want to charge me a slightly reduced price (still carzy money) for a long block or sell me a "slightly used" motor. It has been a long painfull process and I'm still without my boat and worse yet no reason or assurance my other one or the next one wont do the same. The entire summer has been ruined, they have no explanation and they want me to cough up crazy money after a motor with 70 hours with no reason dumps 5 quarts of oil and trashed the entire motor.
You saw nothing?
Im assuming you had to use the dipstick then to even see which engine to remove then.
Any picts?
Who did the prior service at 50 hours? It had to come from somewhere if there is no visible sign on he block, filter, heads, - or anywhere maybe the guy didn't tighten the drain plug and it just backed out.
wow- this is different.

Do they arise and fall in sync just 20 lb off?
Where do they "bounce" down to after a hard run?
Curious- hows she run?

How about swapping the gauges or sending units to see whether the pressure follows or remains??
Did you buy Alan Greens boat w/ the #6's?
